LONDON : WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 30, 1338. We quite agree with the Chronicle and the Times, which are, wonderful to say, of one accord in congratulating the country on the great diminution of factious brawls in Parlia ment, of which Sir ROBF.ET PEEL'S speech last night holds cut a prospect to the country. We cannot, however, be quite so courteous and so courtly as the Chronicle, in abjuring all re proach and all taunts, for that would be to aistain from noting a most remarkable change, and to neglect an opportunity to imi;vss a most instructive lesson both on statesmen and on the public. Fur three years have Sir ROBERT PEEL and his friend; resisted to the utmost, without caring to modify its de tails, the Ministers' plan for giving Municipal Corporations to Ireland. If concession be now moderation and wisdom, previous opposition must have been factious violence and folly. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S present conduct is as strong a condemnation of all the proceedings of the Tories on the subject of Ireland since 1835 as his conduct in 1829 was of the penal 'Jolley towards the Catholics, which he and his tyrannical party had previously pursued. We rejoice with both our Contem poraries at Sir ROBERT'S change ; but we rejoice at it because it is his reluctant testimony, wrung from him egainst his will, to the wisdom of concession, and to the impossibility of the Tories controuling the popular power. To the people this teaches the value of perseverance—statesmen it ought to con vince that there is something in society greater than they 3. - e, which they are bound rather to study and follow than controul. It ought to abate the presumption of the latter, and inspire the former with confidence. Both Sir ROBERT PEEL and Lord JOHN RessEer. agreed that the opposition is so strong that the Ministers cannot carry the appropriation clause. The Church of Ireland, then, according to the belief of both these statesmen, who rely on the power of Parliament to secure the possessions of that Church, is per fectly safe ; and bo=ng safe, Sir ROBERT PEEL and his friends having it in their power, as they have more than once boasted, to stop all measures which they dislike, his concession of Mu nicipal Reform is to be considered as a p ure t r i um ph o f t h e popular cause. The Ministers do not give up the appropria tion principle —they only acknowledge the impossibility in the present state of parties to carry it into effect by the in, tru mentality of this Parlia ment. But thei r submission , i 1 eir opponents will not sweep that principle out of the hearts of the people. Another Parliament,. called under l ess favour able aus pi ces for clerical rapacity—when the pulpit drum ecclesiastic" shall sound cracked and hoarse, and excite only mockery and scorn—will enable or compel the Ministers to give effect to that principle, and then it will be seen that the fac t i ous Opposition of the Tories Fas been equally futile and erroneous. Hitherto they have resisted the establishment of Corporations in Ireland, because that would endanger the Church ; but it is not more secure now than it was three years ago. All the elements of danger are the same. Its character is unchanged, and the Irish view it with unmitigated, if not ncreased animosity. It is the same insulting, useless, unjust Corporation that it was three years ago. It has been repre sented by the Tories, to suit their party parposes, as the enemy to civil freedom ; and as they made danger to the Church the pretext for denying Corporations to Ireland, by now conceding them they assent to the doom of the Church, long ago pronounced by all sensible men. To concede the es tablishment of Corporations, while the Church has received no additional security, is in fact a pure gain to the popular cause. There are some parts of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech which make us regard the debate of last night as the herald of a great triumph. 1-1.2 is all at once in haste to profit by the pre sent moment of calm in Ireland, to settle the Tithe question ; he is al . : aid that " the present tranquillity and submission to the laws may not be always existing." Does this calm exist? What have been the late Tithe meetings then ? Rightly explained, we believe Sir Ron Ear's statement means, that the popular meetings which have been held in Waterford and Wexford within the last fortnight, and at which hundreds of thousands of persons Were usemhled, who all with one voice denounced the Tithe system, have awakened the Tories to a perception of the danger of continuing to tantalize a long suffer ing people. The present concession like that of 1829, is another homage to the power of the people to compel their rulers to redress their grievances. Sir Bonn, r puts a good face on the matter ; but the late meetings in Waterford and Wexford have done for Municipal Reform what the Clare Election did for Emancipation. They have alarmed the Tories. We ap prehend that they are again too late. They have conceded when it is no longer possible to save the Church; and Sir ROBERT, gracefully as he speaks, is, as a politician, that duck legged di ummer always behind, which the Times once happily selected as the type of his whole party. But the crowniog and most satisfactory admission of Sir ROBERT was, that " emoluments in the Irish Church are to be made proportionate to the duties to be performed." " I would abolish sinecures," he said. What is this but the appr,:priation principle ? What would it lead to but the abolition of every benefice in which there are no Protestants, and the cutting down of other where there are few, to very small incomes? It makes the Par liament too, composed of layme-n, of Dissenters, and Catholics, the judges of what arc the duties and what the fitting reward of the established clergyman. We contend for no other prin ciple than proportioning emoluments to duties, and shall support the lay House of Commons in applying that to all the Clergy of Ireland. Extreme as is our gratification at the debate of last night, as the commencement of fewer factious disputes in Parliament, we cannot fail to remark, that Sir R. PEEL'S speech proceeds al together on the principle of consulting party convenience, not the public good. Ile looks at the preservation of the Church ; he wishes to avoid the scandal of Members coming down to the House with long extracts from each other's speeches ; and he proposes a sort of compromise with his opponents in Parliament, without asking himself how it will affect the people. We can tell him that the public will approve of his present moderation as a condemnation of his past factious opposition; and that his new concessions will fail as completely in settling the affairs of Ireland, according to his wish, as his concessions of 1829. The Irish are neither to be so easily gulled, nor so speedily satisfied. A flattering, and, we will add, a well-ear Led tribute of respect, was yesterday paid to Mr. 111;mx by the Reformers of Brentford and the vicinity. The Honourable Gentleman was entertained at a public dinner, at which Mr. CLAY, M. P., a well-tried Reformer, was with great propriety selected to preside, after which a magnificent candelabrum of silver, with an appropriate inscription, was presented to him. We have great pleasure in recording a circumstance which is equally honourable to Mr. liumE and to the Reformers of Brentford, who, by evincing in so marked a manner their gra titude to a public man for his exertions in the public service, have held out to others a strong inducement to earn a similar reward by pursuing a similar course. By the arrival of Iberia steamer at Falmouth on Monday, we have received adviers from Lisbon of the 23d instant. Donna ISAP"', aunt of Queen Donna MARIA, wai proclaimed by some rebels at Montencr Regent of PORTUGAL, in the ab sence of her brother Don MIGUEL, in consequence of which that Princess has received a Royal order to remain in future in t he capital. To this she i 3 reported to have yielded a ready compliance. Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN returns to England, but whether he has succeeded in obtaining the ratification of the Portu guese Government to the Slave Treaty subrnitter) to it by England, we are not fully informed. The rumour in circula tion in Lisboa on the .23d w Is, that the Portuguese Nlini,try had persisted in refusing to sign any treaty recognising an un limited right of search. The Provinces of Algarve and AlLnitejo are still disturbed by 12.EmEenEno and his band ; but preparations have I:3en set on foot for bringing his career of crime to a conclusloa. For this purpose a reinforcement of 400 troops have been ordered from the capital. The Duke of PALMELLA is to assist as Ambassador EVra ordinary at the Coronation of her Majesty Queen VICTORIA. Our readers may probably remember the tenour of certain remarks which we fit it our duty to make upon the conduct of a Colontl Bc'nrav, erewhile Governor of the Island of St. Lucia, and at present the successor of the late Sir .I.‘mr:s CAR. MICHAEL SMYTII in the Government of British Guiana. This Colonel BrNBURY, while Governor of St. Lucia, signalised himself by suspending the Chief Justice REDDIE, because that Magistrate was too upright to disgrace the Bench by withholding justice from her Majesty's subjects, by the ap pointment of a temporary Puisne Judge to try certain cases to the prejudice of others, and otherwise conniving at the acts of petty tyranny, sanctioned by this mili tary martinet. But Chief Justice REDDIE was not a man to endure passively an insult offered to his character, his understanding, and his moral feelings as a Judge. He appealed to the Crown, but not bsfore Colonel BUNISCRY had first given his own version of the affair to Lord GLF.NELG. We have now the pleasure of submitting to our readers the Noble Lord's answer, extracted from a file of Dernerzra p ‘p:rs received this morning, to the 18th ult., and by him ordered to be published in the St. Lucia journals. Few documents have given such general satisfaction to the Colonists, French, and English : " Downing-street, 14th.May.,..1838. " Sir—With reference to your despatch, No 123, cc the 16th Dec., reporting your suspension of the Chief Justice, I have to acquaint you that on the receipt of the documents transmitted to me on this subject I immediately referred them to the law officers of the Crown. I hav e now to convey to you the report of her Maesty's Attorney and Soli. citor.C.eneral, to the effect that the Commission granted by you to Mr. Agostini was nct a lawful exercise of your authcrity, and that the ob_ j, ctions made to it by the Chief Justice and First I'uisne Judges were well founded in point of law. . . . " In consequence of this report I have to instruct you to reinstate the Chief Justice iu the exercise of his functions without delay. " Mr. Reddie tivill no d:ubt claim his salary for the ptfiod cf his sus. pension, and this claim must be admitted. " In order to prevent any further delay in the administration of justice, you will a: point a Third Puisne Judg. , , and enable the Court to come into activity immediately. " Ihave the honour to be, &c., (.Signed) " GLENELG." We trust the next arrivals will notify the recal of Colonel BUNRCIa from the Government of British Guiana. His con duct in St. Lucia must convince Lord GI.ENELG that he is wholly disqualified for any such appointment in any part of the world.

Count OFALIA is to succeed the General as War Minister pro tempore. On the 22d a review Of ten tow squadrons of cavalry was to take place on the Prado. The substance of a long dispatch from ESPARTERO, dated Haro, the 17th inst., will be found in the following article from the Grreo Nacional, a Madrid Journal generally well informe 1, respecting the movements of the Carlists "According to accounts from Tafalla, and other points, the rebel Dons observed for some days." The Loan Committee continnei to meet daily at the house of NIARTINEz DE LA Rosa. The movements of the reheN had no longer created any alarm in the capital. The Par;s Journals of Monday begin to direct their atten tion to the state of affairs in Africa. The refusal of the Bey of TUNIS to sell to France one hundred and fifty horses for the use of the Algerine army, appears to have excited a good deal of attention. The BEY'S excuse was that he wanted all the horses he could muster to mount his own cavalry ; but in reality he preferred the good will of the PORTE to the friend. ship of the citizen KING. The Royal Family have left Paris for Neuilly, where the KING proposes to spend a portion of the summer. The number of Primary Schools for the instruction of boys in France are 39,504, and for girls 14,42 G. The Emperor of RusstA has made short work of the mixed marriages' question throughout his dominions. As head of the Greek Church, lie has commanded, under severe penal ties, all persons marrying Russians to conform to that tell. giou, be it the creed of the husband or the wife. Of course, no one will dare to disobey the Imperial Ukase, who 13 not prepare.l for a trip to Siberia. Sr. JEAN DE Luz, MAY 23.—The letters from Toulon announce that Charles V. left Este!la on the 20th. His Majesty is going to in spect all the lines to see in their positions all the battalions of Navarre, and the three Biscayan Provinces, and of Castille, to inspect the several squadrons of cavalry and review the artillery. The cavalry officers who are out of employment wi 1 form a squadron, and the ottic;:rs of infantry out of employment will form two companies. A letter from Pampeluna says that on thel 9th, there was an engagement between thegarrison of that city and the troops of Tarragual at the Yenta of Viltalva. The Chris tine's attempted to surprise a convoy of provisiOns destined for Estella, but they paid dear far their attempt. Being closely pursued as far as Cordorilla, almost under the walls of Pampeluna, they had .550 men killed and wounded in an action of five hours. Above 120 wounded were brought into the city. The loss of the Carlists is estimated at sixty men. Estella is supplied with provisions sufficient for six months at the leask—Private Correspondence of the Gazette de France.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDN ES D A Y , MAY 30, Guergue crossed the Argo on tl.e. 15th, at nine o'clock in the morning, by the floating bridge at Belascoain, with six brAt.aiions, and three or more squadrons of cavalry, eantoning themselves in Übain, Arriaza, Zahalza, anti other towns in the neighbourhood of these. At twelve o'clock of the same day another portion of their forces was passing the river, and the factious themselves asserted that Don Carlos himself was waiting with another portion of troops at the valley of Echauri to join them. At nine o'clock at night it was known at Tafal'a that six batta lions and two squadrons occupied the country between Ucar and Uterga, and that their advanced posts extended to o:eaz and Muro ; that is in the centre of the Carascal, and consequently intercepting the communi cation with Pamplona. " Although the factious report that they are going to Upper Aragon, for which they united their present forces, which they say amount to fourteen battalions and eight squadrons of cavalry, yr. cannf t receive these eports, as the rivers are still much flooded, and the internal dis sensions in the provinces at home would have a bad eff.ct on their un dertaking. We are of opinion that they wish only to distract the at. tension of Espartero, and of the other troops, in order to prevent them from executing the combined plan of operations in contemplation, as manifested by the concentration of forces and other military prepara. EX PART RAM. This case came before the Court upon the petition of Eleanor Ram, praying for the confirmation of the Master's Report, and that a sum of 1,-1004 3 per cent. consols, standing in the name of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, might be transrerred to the name of the petitioner, as trustee for Mary Rain. The facts under which the present application was made were as flil'ows :—Some years ago the father of Mary Rani, who resided in Ireland, gave her by his will 200/. a-year, and also the sum of 1,400/., the produce of some Irish det-mtures, which he transmitted to England, directing it to be invested in English srcck for the benefit of Mary Ram. As she was of imbecile mind the money was invested in the natnes of her two brothers, Abel and Stephen Ram. No dividends having been demanded for the stock for up_ wards of ten years, the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, pursuant to the Act of Parliament, took possession of the stack. Some time since, the existence of the stock becoming known to the petitioner, she applied by petition to the Vice-Chancellor to have the stock transferred to her, which the Court ordered. Upon appeal, however, to the Lord Chancel ;r, his Lordship directed a reference to the Master to enquire who was entitled to the stock, and the Master reported that it belonged to Mary Ram. The object of the present petition was to confirm that Report, and have the stock transferred to the name of the petitioner. The LORD CIIANCELLO3 said if he transferred the stock to the peti tioner he had no security that it would be applied to the benefit of Mary Ram. Mr. JACOB suggested that the stock should be transferred into the name of the Accountant-General. The LORD CHANCELLOR sail he did not see how he could do that as there was no suit giving the Court jurisdiction, nor had Mary Rain been declared a lunatic. Mr. hcon thought there were cases in the book in which money had been paid into Court, in a matter without the existence of a cause in Court. The Loan CHANCELLOR said if such a course bad been previously adopted by the Court he would follow it, as his only desi:e was to se cure the stock for the proper owner. The Some! ron-GENERSI., who appeared for the Committee for the re. duction of the national debt, stated that they were w illing to adopt any course that might be pointed out by the Court, as th e y were perfectl y c.mvinced, under the circumstances that had taken place, that they were not entitled to the stock. The Loan-CuascEm_ort, after communicating with Mr. Walker, the Registrar, said the case had better stand over. for the purpose of giving an opportunity of ascertaining whether money had ever been paid into Court in a matter where no cause was in existence. If such was found to be the case, then the stock might be transferred into Court in the I name of the petitioner and Mary Rain. VICE-CHANCERY.—(this DAY•) HAY V. RAWSON AND OTHERS.

Spring heeled Jack having left L on d on an d it s neighbourhood, is now visiting the more distant parts of the country.

ARITHMETICAL PROGRESSION.---WC last week recorded in our obituary the death of an old servant, who had for many years been in the enjoyment of an annuity bequeathed to him by his deceased master. When the latter was preparing for his exit from this world, he called John into his room, and asked him if he could live com fortably on 50/. a-year. "Go on, Sir," said John. " 60/. ?

Sir Charles Smith. Accounts from Lisbon of the 9.3 d May state that the attention of the Government is directed towards the provinces of Algarve and Alemtejo, their troubled state still continuing in spite of the forces sent against them. The Government had resolved to send a reinforcement of 400 men. As regards the financial state of affairs, things go on with some degree of smoothness. Tire only arrival this morning of interest is the Lisbon mail, which brings over Lord Howard de Walden, the British ambassador. The Portuguese Government refuse to sign the slave treaty. THE FUNDS.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, (TIIIS EVENING.) HO USE OF COMMONS. Th:re being only 27 Membm present at Four o'Clock the House ad journed till to-morrow. D SPA TCII.—The Sovereign (Campbell), of Glas gow, sailed from Plymouth upon the 27th June, 1837, for Bohai t Town, Van Diemen's Land, discharged and loaded there for Valparaiso, discharged and re-loaded for England, and arrived at Swansea upon the 21st May, 1838, having completed the voyage round the world in 10 months and '24 days! Since last year two alterations have been <ffected in the " cnn stitution" of this meeting, both, we may say with cenfidenee, being calculated to add to its popularity. The first is the addition to the stewardship of Sir Gilbert Heathcote, who, as well as his colleague Baron de Tessier, resides in the neighbourhood. Sir Gilbert is a straightforward and liberal supporter of the turf, and possesses in a very high degree the esteem of his neighbours and brother sports men ; the choice, therefore cannot fail to giNie satisfaction. The other change alluded to is in the (lays on which the Derby and Oaks will hen6eforth be run. Hitherto they have been decided on Thursday and Friday, and the consequence has been that tha Oaks has proved a listless, worn out, lackadasical affair, or something like the day after the feast; the public tired, the horses stale, the finery tarnished, the stands half filled, and the provisions short and uninviting. By suffering a day to intervene, the pleasure-seekers get time to " shake their feathers," the jaded posters a little needful rest, the caterers to provide creature comforts worthy of the occa sion ; and the Oaks, as a general result, instead of s sbmitting to a second-hand reputation, to become a " grand" day on its own ac count. The alteration, therefore, affecting at once the prosperity of the races and the convenience of the public is deserving of every commendation. In other respects the arrangements are on the same excellent plan as usual. If the success of the meeting depended on the nature and extent of the sport yesterday, there can be nothing to fear, for the racing was sufficient in quantity to satisfy any moderate person, and of a quality on the whole to leave no ground of complaint. Moreover, it is due to the stewards to state that the different stakes were run with Newmarket precision as to time—a virtu3 rarely found in racing matters. 'With the exception of one or two shoe ers, the weather was delightful, and, if the attendance was not large, it was on a par with the average of the first day, here and elsewhere. From the list of subscribers at the grand stand, and other sources, we are enabled to give the following fashionables as a portion of those present: — Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, Duke of Beaufcrt, Marquis of Exeter, Earl of Albemarle, Earl Stradbroke, Earl of Suffield, Earl of Chesterfield, Earl of Uxbridge, Earl of Wilton, Count Bathiany, Count D'Orsay, Baron De Tessier, Lord Villiers, Lord Walde grave, Lord H. Bentinck, Sir J. Shelley, Sir G. Heathcote, Hon. General Grosvenor, Colonel Anson, lion. G. Byng, Colonel Peel, Hon. A. Villiers, Messrs. Greville, Payne, IL Coombe, J. Stan ley, Errington, Ricardo, Worrall, J. Bayly, Crommelin, Bain bridge, Copeland,Williamson, Williams, .1. White, Dolphin, Clive, Broadhead, Etwall, Gardnor, Shelley, Peyton, &c. Many of the higher classes took up their quarters in the grand stand, and we can state for the comfort of those who find enjoyment in the good things of this life, that the catering comprehended all that th most fastidious appetite could desire, and that the charges were on a scale which could not'displease. This important feature of the Derby day was entrustedlist year to Mr. Careless, of the City, who proved that he had not lived within .a stone's throw of Guildhall without profiting by it. It is this year under the manage ment of a Mr. fucker, of Rathbone-place, who, on this, his " opening day," has shown that he understands the policy of doing business on a liberal scale. _ . The following is a return of the sport:— The Craven Stakes of 10 sous. each ; three years old, fist. ; four, Bst ; five, Bst. 91b. ; six, 9st. 21b. ; and aged, 9st. 51b.

The Epsom Stakes of 5 sous. each, with 50 soya. added ; three yrs old, 7st ; four, Sat. 51b ; five, Set. 121 b ; six and aged, 9st ; mares and geldings allowed 31b.

The second heat was disputed stride for stride for 200 yards between Redear and Oberon, end won by a neck. In the third, Redear made all the play, and won in a canter. THE DERBY (THIS DAY). It is next to impossible to describe with certainty the fluctuations which occurred dur;ng the three hours taken up by the racing ; it must suffice to mention the principal ones :—Cobham was backed freely at sto 2 till the close, when 9to 4 was accepted. Phmnix was so much out of favour at first, that he gave way a point at a time til; he reach:A 12 to 1 ; this was taken, and then the move ment was upwards till he got to 8 to 1 ; this was taken in hundreds two or three times, and after that 7 to 1, at which he closed. D'Egville was also in force, and advanced to the same point. The Grey dropped half a point, and, as a consequence of D'Egville's advance, was not in demand. lon and Rowton at 10 to 1 each; the latter having been quoted lower.

We have nothing further, to day, to communicate respecting the outrage on Protestant worship in the Church-yard of Tuam, saving that at the close of the inquiry informations were re ceived against three Roman Catholic clergymen, mid twenty others, for a riot, and the different witnesses examined on the inquiry were bound to prosecute their depositions at the next Assizes.—Dublin Even tug Mail. CORONER ' S INQUEST. —Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Blue Posts, Oxford-street, before Mr. Stirling, on the bodies of Sabina Conway, aged 35, and James Parker, aged 130 ; the former of whom was murdered by the latter, who afterwards termi. noted his existence by cutting his throat. The Jury, after a short de liberation, returned a verdict that James Parker wilfully murdered Sa_ bina Conway, and a verdict offelo de se was recorded against the former. TIIE EARL OF STIRLING.--We find that this nobleman, or rather that Mr. Humphreys . Alexander, formerly of this city, who, it is known, asser ts a right to the Earldom of Stirling, and has for a long time a ssumed the title, is preferring hi s c l a i m t o b e pre sent, a nd assist at her Majesty's coronation, in virtue thereof. — Wor cester Herald.

COPENHAGEN, MAY 20.—The marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Wilhelmina Maria of Denmark and his Serene Highness Duke Charles Schleswig-Holstein took place yesterday morning at eight o'clock at the Palace. BASE COIN. —A large number of counterfeit four penny piece; are at present in circulation ; they arc well executes!, and bear the date of 1836. From the smallness of this coin it is impossible to distinguish the genuine from the spurcus by " ringing," and it is probably from the ak.ence of this usual tea' that so many of the coup. terfeits have got ab;Oad. There is living at Wolsingham an old woman of tl.e name of Hunter, who is in her 100th year.
